Clearly there is a lot of energy around the banner, but I generally understand the criticisms that have been posted from others around teh internets. Anyway, the pollster in me is curious to know how many actual detractors we have (and I don't necessarily mean to imply that's a bad thing).

In the last few years, I don't know how many times I've heard rival fans come into Arrowhead Stadium and say, "THIS is supposed to be the loudest stadium in the NFL? ___________(fill in rival fan stadium name) is MUCH louder than this." Or how many times we get shit for leaving early as we're walking up the stairs.

IMO, not only are people saying they won't spend money on the game, they're saying they'd rather spend that money on something such as this. I think it's makes a statement.

Is that actual number of fans at the game or the number of tickets sold?

The "new" club level looked empty from the beginning of the game last week, I imagine that many of those seats have been bought by corporations whose employees are either bandwagon fans or not even football fans. Do those empty seats count towards "attendance"?

Maybe I'm a sucker. But my hope is that this becomes enough of a story that the banner shows up on national news. Because if the banner shows up on, say, ESPN. And Cassel throws a stinker (which he will). Think that puts Pioli in a publicly embarrassing situation.
